Tonight was all about Alina, who was completing her 100th deed with GoodGym, what an achievement! Congratulations Alina.

The task tonight was our first ever visit to Magdalen Medical Practice, to give their garden a good clear over.

As you can see from the photos, the team of GoodGymers had to work had and did a grand job.

On a bright evening, five runners met at the Forum and ran the two miles to Dell Rose Court old peoples home. Once we arrived, we started chatting to a couple of residents. Although the Easter quiz sheets were put out, it was decided that the residents weren’t quite feeling in the mood for the Easter quiz so instead we set about the gardening tasks in the enclosed courtyard. We spent the session watering the plants, doing some weeding and generally tidying and sprucing up the area for the residents to enjoy. After a short while more residents popped down and Maddy and Woody spent the remainder of the time in conversation with the residents making it a positive evening. Woody was especially helpful lending some DIY expertise in fixing a bird feeder. We left Dell Rose feeling that the evening was successful and that next time maybe we would get to do the quiz!!! A good run back in good spirits to the Forum was then had.

When done to everyone who got stuck into the task this evening.

We laid plenty of wild flower seeds to help make Sloughbottom Park bloom in the summer months

We returned to Mousehold Allotments to continue the work we started there a couple of weeks ago.

Firstly, we have a few mentions:

A big welcome to Vicky, who joined us for her first GoodGym task.

Well done to Sam who was completing her 50th GoodGym deed!

Congratulations to Woody who was completing his 100th GoodGym deed!!

The jobs this week set by Lizzie and Will were: 1) to lay down cardboard on the middle area. 2) load compost into a wheelbarrow 3) transport the compost and spread it over the card board 4) remove as many old ground sheets from the ground as possible

We discovered lots of little frogs in the grass areas, so were extra careful of those. It was great to see that none of us had a fear of frogs.

Everyone did a great job.
